Ugh, silly me.. I thought as usual you could opt in at last moment.. ;)
Crap. Rasalhague, fly the flag high.

SUCKS! I admit, beer is my bane

That will hurt you at the next election!

...And, with a name like that, shouldn't you be drinking mead?!?

If you were not able to opt in during the brief window PGI allowed but wish to help your faction, then you should drop in groups and win your matches, if you have top score in the match, no other faction player can have a high score from that match.

I like this idea.

Or you could just Boycott the game this weekend.

Is this why we're in 6th place right now???

If we got back up to 3rd, I'd be happy.

You might have that impression because it actually IS like that.

I think you guys did pretty good and i wouldn't leave the faction based on the results. You were top for most of friday before attrition took effect. At least the lone wolves didn't beat you like some house (cough liao cough)

LONE WOLVES Score 102,395 Matches 4,942
LIAO Score 101,141 Matches 4,270

That averages 20.72 points per game for LNW and 23.69 for Liao. Not surprising since more noobs players are in the LNW camp.

Placed #17 overall in LNW though I only played 30 matches or so.

So where does Steiner place?

Steiner Score 106,871 Matches 4,867 Match average 21.96

And never, NEVER underestimate the Blackjack :)

Well Klappspaten, Thank you for showing that screenshot instead of the one where you cleaned my clock! Commendable performance. Much better than my 227th showing.

I would like to support our PGI overlords initiative to ban group players and units from this game. They have no friends to play with so we too should never be allowed to play with our friends.

So, if you hate groups and people, play solo this week end, PGI can use more data showing no one wants premades or units in MWO.


One would sincerely hope that event weekend stats are thrown out based on event rules. Many of us from the 22nd Avalon Hussars were dropping into pug matches while chatting over C3 instead of dropping as a 4-man group.

I take it back. Please include the stats, because three of us grouped after we played our 10 matches and wouldn't you know, our fourth friend dropped against us. The suicide charge was well worth it. Sadly I did not get the kill

I think we did pretty well overall.

Though, I wish I'd gotten one more good game in before I ran out of time. Got stuck in 73rd place after all was said and done.

Yeshua got like 17th place though :rolleyes:

Well we had a good run initially chasing Steiner for the first place but unfortunately we dropped later on in the competition.

But we will get them next time!

Never give up, never surrender!

Yes absolutely.
I think solo synchdropping was a lot of fun, but not necessarily the best way to do it.
I really hope they make another one of those soon.

Your comment shows a lack of sportsmanship and goodwill. This competition was for our faction and not for individuals. Nevertheless, reaching first place has NOTHING to do with luck. Maybe next time you can get 15 games in and do a little better for FRR.

Sure, because you need the following elements to do well in these challenges:
1) Have friendlies on your side that can't aim and thus give you more kill shots.
2) Have friendlies that are stupid enough to soak damage for you.
3) Have ignorant enemies that let you pump them with damage.

I don't care about getting into an argument here, just wanted to point out how wrong that statement was. Yes, you need to be skilled but you also need luck. We've all had >150 score games when all the variables were in your favour. The question really was how lucky you were get as many of these during the 2/3 days period. The scoring system favours these games far more than an average solid performer. Furthermore considering how relaxed the MM is at this point, you never know what you're going to get in terms of Elo balancing. The variations are just way too big, so yes, luck is a very big factor.
